As SUGGESTION FOR THE NEWBERRY BANKERS H*w It Paid In. Laurens to' t' 1 Encourage the Growing of Jj\v Hogs -Washington, Nov. 29.?As congress ^jjourned until tne nun 01 L>ecemjjfer, Senator Dial has left f6r his home ! ifeX&urens. He said he was going down to look after some private busies and in the meantime to see if hs; could help his people prepare fbr ' tjl? boll weevil. ' An experience which the senator I ? - ? j- u ? : several years ago mignt wen ue rfpested now. Some five or six years i since, when the price of bacon was! tiling so rapidly, the senator was' president of the Enterprise National j Bank of^Laurens. -He sent for the j eoonty demonstration agent and told j him to get busy and help the people! OT Laurens county raise more nogs.;1 surprised the agent very much by j tilling him to buy a carload of hogs, j llie agent stood aghas* at the prop-j bsition of buying a carload at one; time. The senator told him that that j \*as exactly what he meant, and the : agent asked how he expected to get | *id of them. The senator replied; tfeat he must sell them; he was on ai and to help the puople; that ifiueh of the land in Laurens county, stath as woodland, swamps, etc., be fenced and that we should' raifce all the pork in that county that | \cas needed. The senator told the j ajfceftt he did not claim that the peo-! pie could raise pork at a profit to j g&iy butrthey could not afford to pay; and middleman's expenses, j aitd he hoped the time would come! whto they would not let a pound be j shipped in the county. j After some persistence, the demonstHlfeon agent agreed to make the orj The senator told him that the Enterprise bank would pay for these hog* and all they would expect would i bfe the "Usual rate of interest, and that; life fcould sell thm, to any white boy a8 the; county on credit, without any tflfciurity except the boy's note. The t replied that the boys might be! jfihlors. This made no difference to: tfcfe senator. He said he would trust1 white boy for a hog. It was a Wttty Sight when the carload of one' htjit^red and twenty-four .hogs ar-| joftrjers haH madp mention \ oi the fact that they were coming Hifc<Hhe people from different sections of the county came in-and selected thfe kind of hog they desired. The xiiie.went rapidly until about one hunhad been disposed of. The agent;: tfcfen notified Mr. Dial that the sale j Wks going a little slow, and wanted to 1 fefaoW how he expected to git rid of others. The senator told him to j se|l them to anybody that would buy j them, evep to darkies. In this man- j' they were disposed of at once, taking mortgage on the hog. This was the first lot of stock hogs that was ever shipped to Laurens' c<mnty, so far as there is any record i ^ That fall and the next fall there tfcw an epidemic of flu, but these pa-1 [ |>?rS were watched particularly, and 1 the senator says that everyone of | ^ tibem wa&^paid; that the bank did not!' urn* cent by this method. V .Thete were more hogs around Lau-! 4tljln T-i-o /J Airoi* haort A I viMiJii ui^i^ nau t > ti ^ - , Jmf or two afterwards somp of the . ?$Opie complained to the senator that tHfey had overdone the thing; that they had killed plenty of pork for thfeft.- own use and had a surplus on^ hfl^bd, which the packers would not;. ti?e. The senator told them that\ Mr&? all right, to fatten the hogs and: , it.WOUld have a market for them. He! sent for the' demonstration agent and; requested; him to get in toucj^ with J sdffie of the packers and have them1 P purchase surplus hogs. An \ meat was made to this effect' l certain day the people had.i their surplus hogs, and King1 lpany had an agent on the ' The hogs were weighed and . bought on the spot at twenty-one cfcnts a pound. This was the highest price that perhapfc hogs brought in; OAlinfv TVtP nninf- ir> +}ip. ! a** is that this is the first car of j brfeed hogs that was ever shipped into; Latirens county. The senator has requested Clemson college to get in touch with the people j at home and see if they could not furnish another carload of hogs. He| said while, of course, he is not die- i tating to the people, yet ff a bank in ; efich county of tjje state would start some such scheme as the aforesaid effort, that great good would result to the neotjle. Hp said that in this I % experience he found the negroes very docile and amenable to advice. TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF THE UNITED STATES * Office of ihe Postmaster General, Washington, D. C., Nov. 22, 1921. Christmas is almost here. Your great postoffice department hafe a big job ahead and needs your help. Think what it means to be Santa \ Claus to our 100,000,000 people arid to deliver Christmas parcels to every I family in this great country within I the short space of & few days and ji without disappointment. It can be done, and we're going to ! do it if we may have your help. I want to enlist the ;icti\*e assistance of every boy and girl in the schools; of our country in getting parcels' mailed this week tD* relieve the rush J that comes directly before Christmas., Will you go home today and take j this message to your parents and| friends: # f ) "Our postmaster has asked us to, mail our Christmas parcels this week,; 1-inlooe ixra /I n TTnr'lo Snm't; loJld i JLV/1 UIUVOC ?t V UV, ?v ? ? - ^ ' I may be so heavy the last few days! before Christmas :hat he won't bej able to dehver all the presents by j Christmas eve." i The parcels must be weU wrapped and tied and addresse 1 plainly in or-' der that they may arriv.) in good con- i dition with their Christmasy appearance unspoiled. You can put on yourj v?Af r\r*iesri nnfil C*.Vii*;st- < XJ\1 11UI> uiivii vm.wi. _ mas." I And there must be a number on I your house and a mail receptacle, too, I for, if there isn't, Santa Claus's messenger, your letter carrier, may not: be able to find the house where the! present belongs. There are some other things, too, j in which you can assist in improving the mail service and in saving our great government millions of dollars a year that is now wasted because of : our carelessness?yours and mine. Every day that you drop a letter in the mail box 40,000,000 other letters are r'^ea'dy pushing anl jamming!I through - postal machinery. Onejl ,-u ? vomil-r ftf tlVP i I letter a uay xui rovu ihuuij v? persons in the United States is given to Uncle Sam to deliver. When you send a parcel to the post office for mailing any day there are about 8,000,000 other paree!o besides yours passing through th postal hopper. This is in ordinary days; at Christmas time it is multiplied many times. One family in about every ten puts a badly addressed letter in the mail ' mi _ ?; .... o every aay. mis mixes up uvci 000,000 half addressed letters with \]he 20,000,000 fully adcTresse.l letters. That means that the fully addressed letters must wait on the slow moving poorly addressed letters just like the larger boys and girls are delayed by the bunch of "bad kids" tagging along. You boys and girls can help" the postal service and save yoar father some money, because he has to help I pay the cost of searching addresses I on letters and parcels sent out by this j one ca^elesk and thoughtless family i in every ten. First, find out. if your family is the careless one, then bear in mind that your letters must be handled by skilled mail distributors standing ir. post offices and on swaying- postal cars of a mile-a-minute. trains, often under poor light. The address on every'letter, card or package must be correct, complete, | and legible, including the house num- jg ber and name of street and "from" address should be in the upper left tfand corner so that the mail will be returned to you in case it is not delivered. Do not abbreviate the names of states, because so many look alike when abbreviated. * Put the proper amount of postage on your letters and wrap the parcels carefully. Avoid fancy writing, which causes nostoffice clerks and letter car riers to stop and study, and thus lose time. Make the address plain and easily read, and always Qse pen and ink or typewriter and light colored envelopes, so as to save the eyes of the postoffice clerks. Do not use envelopes of unusual size. The little ones that are so frequently used for cards and notes at Christmas and othfer holiday times cause an untold amount of trouble and labor, as they' will not fit our cancelling machines and must therefore be cancelled by hand. Because of their size and tendency to slip out of a package, these small envelopes are more likely to be overlooked or lost. Mail your letters and packages early in the day, because this avoids overloading and delaying mail at the end of the day. Your local postmaster and your teacher will tell you more about the i postal service. Do these things, and you will win the grateful appreciation of the people in your postoffice and especially of Your Postmaster General, Will H. Hays. j P. S. Don't forget to mail Christ- I mas packages this week. One of the most disappointing things ! about a young fellow's visit to che , home of relatives is the discovery ! tViPv Viavpn't taken o-ood care of ' the photograph of himself that he j took such pains in wrapping before j mailing. 8 j m* Dreams*never start going by con-! traries until after marriage. j 11 9fl^HBnSHBBSDBBISCTnBBN9HS5E5S3HBBI Throws fifty The Sale Starts We will start the grea this peerless stock regi mers and reduce our i o 11 JUX This is the greatest stock o are placed on everything ii 0 Coat Suits, Coats, D $15.00 COAT S Coat Suits lined on a big - - ? t sizes 16 to 42, wondertul good styles, one to each b long as they last at...." am /% i nr CUA1 Our Coat Suit prices ar< Coat suits worth up t<5 $25. choice Coat Suits worth up to S* TWO HUNDRED L Hold on to your money Q4-U All O til. nil V^VCt l/O liictuxvvi xxx in black, brown, navy, etc and $20.00, your choice ... n . . 7 i . \ \ j A ? f m MY ALL Jl\.li * We will give you the great known.s Six great price gr GROUP NO. 1 One lot trimmed hats, values choice, sale price GROUP NO. 2 Children's rolled brim French fe $4.00, choice GROUP NO. 3 One lot Ladies' Trimmed Hats, your choice $10.00 SKIRTS FOR $ We are going to give first ladies' fine skirts, navy blue ai sizes, of course they will not 810.00 skirts, your choice LADIES' HOSE Ladies' full seamless hose, 2 pair LADIES' UNDERWE Full size Outing Gowns, SI. each CORSETS nO rln^pn Corsets, worth UE sale price, each BLEACHING Standard yard wide bleach limit, at i SEA ISLAND 38-inch Sea Island, 15c q price, the yard KyaMMUifc'UiHBPwreyrri nil IB1HIIH1III1IIHI B?a&fc?
